GoldBest Use of Digital - Best Use of Real-Time Data

Sleep is important, yet over one-third of Canadians sleep less than seven hours per night. And what do those night owls and insomniacs do during their waking hours? Scroll YouTube, naturally. To target sleep-deprived Canadians, IKEA partnered with Google to create videos that ran between 10:30 p.m. and 3:30 a.m., calling out the time of night and the content being viewed. So when IKEA spokesperson Jonas chided people for watching cat videos at 2:38 am, they took notice. Jonas even told people exactly how much time remained until IKEA opened so they could buy a better mattress. It worked. “Bedtime” led to a 108% lift in IKEA brand searches and a 673% increase for the keyword “IKEA mattress.”
